Two-week Challenge # 1

One of our major fundraising goals is have enough money to bring food, medical and sporting supplies for the people in the surrounding villages and town in Jinja, Uganda. In the United States and Canada food, medical and sporting needs are at the palm of our hands. Often we overindulge on food and don’t think twice as we grab that bottle of aspirin or Tylenol. But in the area we are traveling to, in a little under 2 months, these basic needs are not being met, and we want to be able to provide these basic needs for people in and around the Jinja region.  Thus, for these next two weeks we are putting out a challenge for our friends.

This two-week challenge is called our, “food challenge,” and it is to have people donate $10 to The Jinja Outreach Funds. Rather than going out to lunch one afternoon, or purchasing the extra dessert or Starbucks coffee, save that $10 and donate it for the people in Uganda so we can purchase basic food needs for the children, families and individuals.

If all of our 103 followers on our Facebook page each donate $10 during these next two weeks we could raise $1030, which would feed hundreds of individuals in Uganda. We will keep you posted on the fundraising efforts for this challenge, so if you do participate, along with your check please write a small note indicating that the money is for our food two-week challenge. To make a donation please send it to, "Jinja Outreach Funds- 7111 A Street, Suite 103, Lincoln, NE 68510" and make checks payable to "Jinja Outreach Funds."

Thank you for supporting us, our mission trip and most of all the children, families and individuals of Uganda, we cannot wait to help make a difference.
